Transcript
NOTE: Authoritative Islamic texts are the Qur’an and Hadith.
Muslims believe that the Qur’an is the revealed word of Allah (verse
numbers differ slightly in different versions). Sura always stands for
a chapter in the Qur’an. Islamic belief is that Muhammad is the
perfect example to be followed by all Muslims. Whatever he said,
practiced or approved is called Hadith. There are six different sets
of authentic ahadith (Hadiths): Bukhari, Muslim, Abu Dawud,
Tirmizi, Sunnan Ibn Majah and Sunnan Nasa’i. This pamphlet is
intended to show the teachings and examples of Muhammad, and is
not intended to be offensive to Muslims; many Muslims may have
little real knowledge of what their god, Allah and their prophet has
said on this topic.
People everywhere need people! We need to
have friends. Our relationships, to a large extent, show
who we really are. How we relate to people with
whom we agree, or disagree, shows what is in our
heart; it reflects who we are and what we believe.
Islam’s approach to relationships is the very opposite
to Christianity’s.
Jesus said, ‘If you love those who love you,
what reward will you have? Do not even tax collectors
do the same? If you greet only your brothers, what
more are you doing than others? Do not even the
unbelievers do the same?’ (Matthew 5:46-47).
Islam, and the agents of multiculturalism,
present Islam as a tolerant and peaceful faith having
the answers for the world’s problems. However, much
of what is presented as ‘true’ Islam, is in fact, a very
limited and distorted view of what the Qur’an, Hadith
and the life of Muhammad really teach.
A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF MUHAMMAD’S TEACHING
Christians and Jews are Believers
In Sura 85:4-11, an historical reference to king Dhu
Nawas’ massacring the Christians of Najran, and in
18:10-27, Christians are called believers; in Sura 2:62
and 5:69 Allah said that Jews, Christians and
Sabaeans [star worshippers] will not grieve in the Last
Day [the Day of Judgment]. In Sura 2:122 and 5:20
Allah said that the children of Israel are preferred
above all, prophets and kings among them.
Christians and Jews are Disbelievers
Sura 5:72-73 ‘They surely disbelieve who say:
Lo! Allah is the Messiah, son of Mary. The Messiah
(himself) said: O Children of Israel, worship Allah,
my Lord and your Lord. Lo! whoever ascribes
partners unto Allah, for him Allah has forbidden
paradise. His abode is the Fire. For evil-doers there
will be no helpers. They surely disbelieve who say:
Lo! Allah is the third of three; when there is no God
except the One God. If they stop not from so saying, a
painful doom will fall on those of them who
disbelieve.’
Sura 4:116 says that Christians cannot be
forgiven because they are polytheists [believe in more
than one God]: ‘Lo! Allah pardons not that partners
should be ascribed unto Him. He pardons all except
that to whom He will. Whoever ascribes partners unto
Allah has wandered far astray.’
Go to Christians and Jews for Wisdom
Sura 10:94: ‘And if thou (Muhammad) art in
doubt concerning that which We reveal unto thee, then
question those who read the Scripture [Jews and
Christians] (that was) before thee. Verily the Truth
from thy Lord hath come unto thee. So be not thou of
the waverers.’
Sura 5:47, ‘Let the People of the Gospel
judge by that which Allah hath revealed therein.
Whoso judgeth not by that which Allah hath revealed:
such are evil-livers.’
Christians and Jews are Deluded
Sura 9:30, ‘And the Jews say: 'Uzair (Ezra) is the son
of Allâh, and the Christians say: Messiah is the son of
Allâh. That is a saying from their mouths. They imitate
the saying of the disbelievers of old.
Allah's
curse be on them [Jews & Christians]: how they are
deluded away from the Truth!’
Sura 98:6, ‘Lo! those who disbelieve, among
the People of the Scripture [Jews and Christians] and
the idolaters, will stay in fire of hell. They are the
worst of created beings.’ (also see Sura 8:55).
Be Nice to Christians and Jews
Sura 29:46 ‘And argue not with the people of the
Scripture (Jews and Christians), unless it be in (a
way) that is better (with good words and in good
manner, inviting them to Islâmic Monotheism with His
Verses), except with such of them as do wrong, and
say (to them): "We believe in that which has been
revealed to us and revealed to you; our Ilâh (God)
and your Ilâh (God) is One (i.e. Allâh), and to Him we
have submitted (as Muslims).”’ (See also Sura
16:125).
Fight, Kill, Loot and Despoil Christians and Jews
Sura 3:181, ‘Truly Allah heard the saying of
those [Jews in Al-Medina] who said, (when asked for
contributions to jihad): "Allah, forsooth, is poor, and
we are rich!" We shall record their saying with their
slaying of the prophets wrongfully and We shall say:
Taste you the punishment of burning!’
Bukhari, vol.4 , Hadith 176: “‘Allah's Apostle
said, "You (i.e. Muslims) will fight the Jews till some
of them will hide behind stones. The stones will
(betray them) saying, 'O 'Abdullah (i.e. slave of
Allah)! There is a Jew hiding behind me; so kill him.'“
Looting and despoiling Christians and Jews are
considered good works (Sura 9:120; 4:94). Early in
Muhammad’s career, Allah taught that Jews and
Christians were believers; later in Muhammad’s
career, Allah taught they were unbelievers, and could
not repent to turn to Allah, even if Muhammad prayed
70 times for them (Sura 9:80).
WHY ALLAH AND MUHAMMAD CHANGE
THEIR MINDS?
The ‘kind’ teachings about Jews and
Christians were made when Muhammad’s followers
were few and poor; when his forces had grown in
strength and he had become wealthy, Allah declared
that no other religion would be accepted (thus,
Judaism and Christianity were accursed) and he
became very militant.
ALLAH ACCEPTS NO RELIGION OTHER THAN
ISLAM
Sura 3:85, ‘If anyone desires a religion
other than Islam (submission to Allah) never will it be
accepted of him; and in the Hereafter he will be in the
ranks of those who have lost (all spiritual good).’
[Yousaf Ali’s Trans.] (also see Sura 3:83)
MUSLIMS MUST NOT BEFRIEND NON-MUSLIMS
Sura 3:28, ‘Let not the believers take
disbelievers for their friends in preference to
believers. Whoever does that has no connection with
Allah unless (it be) that you but guard [al-taqiyya—
legal deception] yourselves against them, taking (as it
were) security. Allah bids you beware (only) of
Himself. Unto Allah is the journeying.’ Also see Sura
4:144-45.
Sura 5:51, ‘O you who believe! Take not the
Jews and the Christians for friends. They are friends
one to another. He among you who takes them for
friends is (one) of them. Lo! Allah guides not
wrongdoing folk.’
ALLAH COMMANDS MUSLIMS TO FIGHT NONMUSLIM NEIGHBOURS
Sura 9:123, ‘O you who believe! Fight those
of the disbelievers who are near to you, and let them
find harshness in you, and know that Allah is with
those who keep their duty (unto Him).’
Sura 9:5, ‘Then, when the sacred months have
passed, slay the idolaters wherever you find them, and
take them (captive), and besiege them, and prepare for
them each ambush. But if they repent and establish
worship and pay the poor-due, then leave their way
free. Lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.’
MUSLIMS MUST NOT OBEY NON-MUSLIMS
Sura 25:52, ‘So obey not the disbelievers, but
strive against them herewith with a great endeavour.’
Sura 26:151, ‘And obey not the command of the
prodigal [their chief: leader who were polytheists,
criminals and sinners, The Noble Qur’an]. Sura 33:12 ‘… and obey not the disbelievers and the hypocrites.
Lo! Allah is Knower, Wise. And follow that which is
inspired in you from your Lord. Lo! Allah is Aware of
what you do.’ Sura 68:8, ‘Therefore obey not you the
rejecters [unbelievers].’
DID JESUS PREACH SUCH HATRED?
No! In fact, as he was being crucified, He
prayed for His enemies, “Father, forgive them.” (Luke
23:34) and Jesus tells his followers, ‘But I say to you,
love your enemies and pray for those who persecute
you.’ (Matthew 5:44). Christians are told to bless
those who curse them, to bless and not to curse
(Romans 12:14) and are told to obey the government
(Romans 13:1-8). .
Violence is a by-product of the sinful nature
of our humanity, which stems from mankind’s
thinking that someone is better than another.
However, Yahweh, the God of the Bible, created man
and woman in His own image and likeness (Genesis
1:27) and, in Christ, all who accept Him as their Lord
and Saviour, are adopted into His family (John 1:12).
Regardless of race, “there is neither Jew nor Greek,
slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in
Christ Jesus” Galatians 3:28.
God condemns partiality (1 Timothy 5:21;
James 2:1-10; 3:17) and the Prince of Peace, the Lord
Jesus Christ teaches:
Love your enemies (Matthew 5:43-44)
Live in peace with all men (Hebrews 12:14)
Obey the governing authorities (Ro. 13:1-4).
Do good to all … (Galatians 6:10)

JEWS & CHRISTIANS
IN ISLAM
Sura ‘Al-Fatihiah’ (The Opening) 1:1-7
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Praise
be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds, The Beneficent, the
Merciful. Master of the Day of Judgment, You (alone) we
worship; You (alone) we ask for help. Show us the
straight path, The path of those whom You have
favoured; Not the (path) of those who earn Your anger
nor of those who go astray.
Jesus said: “...and you will know the truth, and the truth
will set you free.” (John 8:32)
